I love listening to your podcast - it has been SO helpful throughout the wedding planning process! I have a question to ask - My future MIL has purchased her dress for our wedding prior to me picking out my wedding dress as well as my own mother's dress for the big day. I feel frustrated that she went out and bought a dress without even telling me. I was hoping to plan a day where me, my mom and her could go looking for dresses together as a fun thing to do during the planning process. My mom has expressed that she feels hurt that she didn't get to pick out her dress first as the mother of the bride, as tradition usually holds.   My future MIL's dress is long and navy and my mother has made statements such as "now I have to wear a long dress because she is" and "now I can't wear navy because she is." I just feel so torn as to what to do in this situation. I would feel bad telling my future MIL she needs to return her dress but I also feel so bad for my mother because she was really excited about picking out her dress first. Any advice or feedback would be greatly appreciated!! Sincerely, A future bride who needs some advice!   Remember you can reach us anytime by emailing info@fromringtoveil.com  Subscribe to the podcast: {Apple Podcasts} {Google Play} {Stitcher} {Youtube}    -Until next time, No Stress No Worries Keep Calm and Listen On-
